Rockwell Collins FMS Not Transparent

[selsamman]

When I first start using this FMS in February there was a transparent cutout to view the pop-out. Now it appears to be black. Toggling transparent in Air Manager shows the area around the four corners where there is a cutout for the screws as transparent but not the screen part in the middle. I haven't changed anything in my setup and and having difficulty understanding why this is suddenly the case. Using version 2.2 and tried deleting and re-downloading the instrument.

Hi, I'm having the exact same issue, in fact this was working Fri/Sat when I first installed it, but today (Sunday) I'm seeing the same black areas of the Rockwell and FMS. Also tried deleting and re-downloading etc Would love to get this fixed, as the instruments are very good.

I believe this is because the variable "CIRCUIT ON:47" has changed meaning in some FS2020 update.

--Backgroud Image 
screenoff = img_add("display_off.png", 70, 50, 600, 600)

...

function ss_screenpower(Cir47)
        if Cir47== true then
            visible(screenoff, false)
        else
            visible(screenoff, true)
        end        
end
fs2020_variable_subscribe(
                          "CIRCUIT ON:47","bool", ss_screenpower)

Until this is fixed I simply commented out the img_add of the display_off image and the subscription to the CIRCUIT ON variable.

--Backgroud Image 
--screenoff = img_add("display_off.png", 70, 50, 600, 600)

...

--fs2020_variable_subscribe( "CIRCUIT ON:47","bool", ss_screenpower)

Now it works properly though it won't switch to black when you power off the plane.

Thanks for the response @selsamman very much appreciated. I'll copy the instrument and make the change. Thanks again, Ian.

Well that's bizarre, it works fine for me tonight?? I have zero explanation!

Was that after the latest FS update? It's possible that circuit 47 (power for the display) got broken in one update and fixed in another.
